Melissa,

Also don't forget about your video card. It must be a good one, non on-board, since new SPSS versions (and other programs) are mainly "full graphics" interface. It is a important detail when rolling down the output or data screen.

Melissa,

I have a near identical machine, T5400 running dual xeon 2.3Ghz (E5410 processors). First, you really need to strongly consider increasing the RAM from 2GB to at least 4 GB. True, in a 32-bit OS you'll only have 3.25 usable RAM, but, you will live to regret the 2GB restriction, this will be more of a speed issue than the dual xeon's.

I have found no noticeable (in real human terms rather than nanoseconds) difference in speed when using SPSS on either a T5400 dual xeon or a T3400 single duo core quad processor.

David.
